This particular piece is very dear to my heart. This was the very first poem I’ve ever written. First literary piece from my Literature Class in high school, 2003 it was. It is dedicated to the most special person in my life, my dear mother.
Oh! Mother!
How beautiful a heart with
Love so warm you have
How unconditionally, abundantly
That love you give.
Oh! mère!
With your fully blown breasts
You nurtured me
Into, but a lotus blossoms
Bouncing me.
Oh! والدة!
You have made a woman out
Of a baby
Made a lady from your
Young one.
Oh! मां !
How you suffered the
Pangs of birth but endured
Even in rugs
You clothed me
Oh! madre!
How grateful and
Thankful
I am
For letting me see this day
